Cesar is one of the shamans that we work with. He was born in 1985. This is his history in his words: “When I was 13 years old I began to see visions and spirits coming to me. At night it was very confusing to me because the spirits would come in my dreams and begin to tell me many things. During that time I had been given the opportunity to drink Ayahuasca with a master shaman Don Romulo. I explained to him what was happening to me and my experiences. Don Romulo told me that there was a spirit that wanted to teach me and that I would have to prepare my body to begin working with Ayahuasca. In my first ceremony I saw a woman who came to me, she told me she was Mother Ayahuasca, she was beautiful in appearance with very long hair. She came close to me and gently touched my face. After that I had visions of snakes that wrapped around my body. I explained my visions to Don Romulo and he told me that Ayahuasca chose me to learn the medicine. At this time Don Romulo decided to become my Master and teach…

Winister is the second master shaman that we work with. Winister was born in 1964. He is the son of Romulo the Banco Ayahuasquero. In Winisters’ words this is his history, “My first experience with Ayahuasca was when I was 15 years old, I was in school and working at that time. In my first ceremony I had a lot of visions both positive and negative, I saw a lot of serpents and heard the sound of Ayahuasca coming from the earth. After that I was dieting with Ayahuasca for one year, then I had to temporarily leave my apprenticeship for some time to enter the military. After I returned from the military I went to visit my father on his farm and decided to continue dieting with Ayahuasca because I was going down a bad path in my life. I decided to make Ayahuasca my doctor and began again my diet, but stronger of no salt, sugar, spicy and greasy foods and no sexual relations. This diet I continued far away from my family deep in the jungle because the spirits of Ayahuasca through my dreams and ceremonies showed me that I was going to be a master shaman…

Don Romulo is the main master shaman that we are aligned and work with, for our Ayahuasca ceremonies. Don Romulo was born in 1936, he is a rare breed of shaman called a “Banco Ayahuasquero”. As foreign as the description may seem to us in our cultural paradigm a “Banco” has the ability through many years of strict diets, isolation in the jungle, working with Ayahuasca and the spirits to become the “chair” or “bank” of the spirits in order for the entry of the spirits into his body to help cure people of disease. They have mastered the spiritual aspect of earth, water, air and fire. Here is Don Romulos’ history in his own words. “My first experience with Ayahuasca I was 8 years old. When I drank with my oldest brother on this very dark night it was revealed to me many secrets that Ayahuasca keeps. I made the decision to become a shaman because my father and oldest brother were shaman and also I saw a lot of people who needed help with diseases that science could not find the cause of the malady. After my first ceremony I began a regime of strict diets no salt,…

I have been involved in spiritual practices and studies since I have been a young boy. I first received my initiation into shamanism by the world of spirit when I was 30 years old. Since this time I have worked with many different shamans from many different modalities form throughout the world. I have studied and been in ceremony with many Ayahuasqueros with Ayahuasca and finally settled down with Don Romulo and Don Winister because of their dedication to working as true healers. I also began working with the spirit plant medicine Huachuma or San Pedro throughout the temples in Peru with several Huachumeros since 2005. Finally receiving my initiation by Huachuma in 2015 as a true Huachumero after many years of many spiritual tests. I have acquired much knowledge and experience dealing within the spiritual worlds that shamanism opens, helping and healing through the access and connection to the divine. I also have an extensive knowledge of the medicinal plants that have been used by the shamans to help treat many different conditions. My intention is the true healing to what extent one can be healed physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. From a place of service to our fellow…
